The below snippet shows how to load Google Fonts asynchronously. The main benefit of loading fonts asynchronously is that it speeds up the site extensively.
(function ($, window, undefined) {
// Load Google Fonts Asynchronously with two sample fonts (Roboto Condensed and Lato)
window.WebFontConfig = {
google: {families: ['Roboto+Condensed:400,700:latin', 'Lato:400,700:latin']}
};
(function () {
var wf = document.createElement('script');
wf.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https' : 'http') +
'://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/webfont/1.5.18/webfont.js';
wf.type = 'text/javascript';
wf.async = 'true';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(wf, s);
})();
})(jQuery, window);
